Production sound mixer in New Orleans

I am Ben Sellers, a New Orleans production sound mixer born and raised in south Louisiana. I have recorded sound for productions from National Geographic, CNN, Showtime, and Lifetime, and I serve as a local anchor for crews coming into the area.

What I record

• Interviews and sit-down dialogue
• Verite scenes and run-and-gun documentary
• Live music and event audio
• Natural, urban, and suburban ambience
• Commercial and branded content
• Production sound supervision for series work

Recent production sound credits

• IMPACT: Killer Red Fox (National Geographic): verite, interviews, drone footage
• Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown (CNN): verite scenes, live music, event ambience
• Murder in the Bayou (Showtime): interviews, verite, ambience
• Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up (Lifetime): production sound supervisor and camera operator
• Alvin Kamara for Adidas: interview, live music, ambience

Why it matters in post

I also work as a sound designer and mixer, so I record with the final mix in mind. That means fewer dialogue fixes, cleaner ambience, and a better-sounding finished product.

Questions

Can you also shoot video or fly a drone?

Yes. I am an experienced camera operator and licensed drone pilot, so one person can cover sound and picture on smaller productions.

Do you work outside New Orleans?

Yes. I work across New Orleans and South Louisiana, and I am happy to hear about travel.
